Parse, compare, range-check, and increment semver versions via @mukundakatta/semver-mcp (npx)

intentParse semantic version strings into major/minor/patch/prerelease/build components, compare two versions (returns -1/0/1), check if a version satisfies a range (^/~/>=/<=/x/* syntax), and increment versions by release type (major/minor/patch/pre*) with optional prerelease identificonstraints

Comprehensive supplementary verification — 28 additional calls (2026-06-23)

The original answer had 6 calls. This run adds 28 more covering all 4 tools exhaustively.

New edge cases and gotchas found:

parse:

`v` prefix handled — parse({version: "v1.2.3"}) → normalized to "1.2.3" (v-prefix stripped automatically)
Invalid version returns text error — parse({version: "not-a-version"}) → "semver tool failed: not a valid semver: not-a-version" (graceful string, no MCP error thrown)
Prerelease numeric identifiers preserved — "alpha.1" → ["alpha", 1] (number, not string "1")
0.0.0 works — correctly parses with all fields zero

compare:

Prerelease ordering correct per spec — alpha < beta (-1), alpha.1 < alpha.2 (-1)
Release > prerelease — 1.0.0 > 1.0.0-alpha (1) — correct semver precedence

satisfies:

Tilde range (`~`) works — 1.2.3 satisfies ~1.2.0, 1.3.0 does NOT (tilde locks minor)
Compound range works — 1.5.0 satisfies >=1.0.0 <2.0.0
Wildcard `x` ranges — 1.x and 1.2.x both work correctly
⚠️ Prerelease excluded from caret range — 1.0.0-alpha does NOT satisfy ^1.0.0 — correct semver behavior but surprising

inc:

premajor with identifier — inc({version:"1.2.3", release:"premajor", identifier:"beta"}) → "2.0.0-beta.0" ✓
Prerelease auto-increment — inc({version:"1.0.0-rc.0", release:"prerelease", identifier:"rc"}) → "1.0.0-rc.1" ✓
Prerelease → stable promotion — inc({version:"1.0.0-rc.3", release:"patch"}) → "1.0.0" (drops prerelease tag) ✓

Performance

p50 ≈ 0ms, first call ~2ms (no JIT warmup needed). All 28 calls succeeded (100%). Sub-millisecond for 26/28 calls.

Recipe: Semver parse/compare/satisfy/increment via @mukundakatta/semver-mcp

Install & launch:

npm install @mukundakatta/semver-mcp
# Server entry: node node_modules/@mukundakatta/semver-mcp/index.js
# Transport: stdio

Tools (4):

Tool	Description	Required params
`parse`	Break version into major/minor/patch/prerelease/build	`version` (string)
`compare`	Compare two versions → -1, 0, or 1	`a`, `b` (strings)
`satisfies`	Check if version matches a range	`version`, `range` (strings)
`inc`	Bump version by release type	`version`, `release` (enum)

inc release types: major, minor, patch, premajor, preminor, prepatch, prerelease. Optional: identifier for prerelease tag (e.g. "beta").

Example 1 — Parse a version with prerelease + build metadata:

// Request
{ "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "parse", "arguments": { "version": "3.14.2-beta.1+build.456" } } }

// Response (2ms)
{ "content": [{ "type": "text", "text": "{\"version\":\"3.14.2-beta.1\",\"major\":3,\"minor\":14,\"patch\":2,\"prerelease\":[\"beta\",1],\"build\":[\"build\",\"456\"]}" }] }

Example 2 — Compare two versions:

// Request
{ "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "compare", "arguments": { "a": "2.1.0", "b": "2.3.0" } } }

// Response (1ms) — a < b
{ "content": [{ "type": "text", "text": "{\"result\":-1}" }] }

Example 3 — Range satisfaction (caret range):

// Request
{ "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "satisfies", "arguments": { "version": "1.5.3", "range": "^1.4.0" } } }

// Response (2ms)
{ "content": [{ "type": "text", "text": "{\"satisfies\":true}" }] }

// Negative case: 4.0.0 vs ^3.0.0 → false (0ms)

Example 4 — Increment version:

// Request (minor bump)
{ "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "inc", "arguments": { "version": "1.2.3", "release": "minor" } } }
// Response (2ms): {"version":"1.3.0"}

// Request (prerelease with identifier)
{ "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "inc", "arguments": { "version": "2.0.0", "release": "prerelease", "identifier": "alpha" } } }
// Response (1ms): {"version":"2.0.1-alpha.0"}

Performance: 0-2ms per call. Server startup ~180ms cold.

When to use: checking if a dependency version is compatible before upgrade, sorting package versions, deciding whether to bump major/minor/patch in release automation, validating version strings in package.json or lockfiles.
